77% of IPCC climate lead scientists, as reported by the Guardian this week, see that we will, almost inevitably, be facing catastrophic global temperature rise within the foreseeable future.

US Demands China stop Supplying Russia in Ukraine
I wonder how it would be reported If the Chinese Secretary of state went to the USA and demanded that the US stop supply Israel weapons for use in the Palestine genocide?

The real battle to save NDIS is about people
The NDIS amendment Bill will not be the rosy panacea this article proposes. The Bill has potential to be more unfair at best, and cause serious harm at worst. Outcomes for people hardly rate a mention. Disability advocates, lawyers, barristers, those with human rights and disability discrimination background did not miss the Bill and will be sending submissions to the Senate Inquiry. The Bill fails the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disability that Australia is signatory too. As such it fails Australians with the most serious need.
